According to WSOC, Kristen Jones says she was doing yoga by Lake James and had ear buds in when an animal she assumed was a neighbor's dog approached.
She told WJZY, "Something sniffed my shoulder, and then I felt something wet along my neck and ear, reached up to pet the dog, felt weird, turned around, and it was not a dog. It was a bear."
Jones wrote in a Facebook post that she then "stumbled backwards into the water and he ran up the hill."
Started my morning down at the lake. Enjoyed my yoga while watching the sunrise. I was sitting on the steps with my feet...

The same bear had reportedly been seen elsewhere in the neighborhood around that time as well.
